• Snagov Monastery - While many are drawn to Bran Castle, the true enigma of the Impaler is concealed on a small, mystical island near Bucharest. Welcome to Snagov Monastery, a 14th-century haven where history and legend intertwine.

Why you shouldn’t miss it:

The Final Resting Place: Enter the ancient stone church to stand before the supposed tomb of Vlad the Impaler—the fierce prince who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

A Hidden Island Retreat: Escape the city’s hustle. Cross the bridge over the tranquil Snagov Lake to arrive at a serene, water-encircled sanctuary that seems untouched by time.

Art & Mystery: Admire 15th-century Byzantine frescoes that have withstood centuries of wars and earthquakes, all while absorbing an atmosphere rich with centuries of secrets.

Only 45 minutes from Bucharest. A must-visit for history enthusiasts and legend seekers. Don’t just visit a castle—follow the ghost of the man himself.

Admission is not included. 30 RON (6 Euro) per person.

• Old Town - Before the legend, there was the Prince. Before the myth, there was the Palace.

Explore the Old Town (Centrul Vechi), not just for its lively nightlife, but to walk the very ground where Vlad the Impaler—the real-life inspiration for Dracula—established his empire.
Stand among the ruins of the 15th-century fortress where Vlad issued his decrees. It’s the birthplace of Bucharest and the heart of the Impaler’s reign.

Capture a selfie with the iconic bust of Vlad Tepes, marking the spot where history and folklore converge. Experience the ultimate contrast—enjoy world-class Romanian wine in a centuries-old cellar, surrounded by the same stone walls that stood during the Ottoman wars.
Stroll through cobblestone alleys like Lipscani, where the atmosphere of the “Paris of the East” merges with the dark, medieval roots of Wallachia.
Bucharest’s Old Town isn’t just a destination; it’s where the story of the world’s most famous vampire began.

• Carturesti Carusel - Situated in the heart of Bucharest’s Old Town, Cărturești Carusel (meaning “Carousel of Light”) is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

A beautifully restored 19th-century bank featuring six levels of white spiral staircases, winding balconies, and a massive skylight that bathes the space in light.

It offers an extensive collection of English-language books, making it easy to find a memorable read.

Beyond the shelves, you can explore unique gifts, local wines, and vinyl records.

• Manuc’s Inn (Hanul lui Manuc) - Is the oldest operating inn building in Bucharest, Romania. It also hosts a popular restaurant, several bars, a coffee-house, and (facing the street) several stores and an extensive bar. Its vast, multi-balconied courtyard hosted many performances and fairs and was a favored location for Romanian Television crews to film folkloric performances.

The inn was constructed in 1808 as a khan, and originally owned by a wealthy and flamboyant Armenian entrepreneur, Emanuel Mârzaian, better known by his Turkish name Manuc Bei. By the mid-19th century, it was Bucharest’s most significant commercial complex, with 15 wholesalers, 23 retail stores, 107 rooms for offices or living, two receiving rooms, and a pub.

• Biserica Sfantul Anton - Curtea Veche - Was built as a palace or residence during the rule of Vlad Dracula in 1459.

Vlad the Impaler’s reign was marked by conflicts with the Ottoman Empire, hence the need to constantly monitor and protect the southern border, the Danube, made him reside in the fortified town on the Dâmbovița banks. He issued a Latin document on 13 June 1458 from the area of present-day Bucharest. Then, on 20 September 1459, he issued a document in Slavonic, specifically referring to the “fortress” in Bucharest, his “princely residence.”

• Stavropoleos Monastery - The jewel of Orthodox Christianity, right in the heart of the city and the epitome of the late “Romanian Renaissance.” This monastery is an iconic monument that beautifully represents the features of the Orthodox heritage and architecture.
